About Virgin Atlantic
Virgin Atlantic flights took off for the first time in 1984 when British entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson, launched the airline’s maiden flight between London Gatwick and Newark International airports. It was operated by a leased Boeing 747-200, painted in Virgin colours and christened "Maiden Voyager". Today, Virgin Atlantic international flights serve over 35 destinations worldwide. In fact Virgin Atlantic has become one of the most popular airlines flying to and from the UK. Virgin international flights regularly depart from London Heathrow, Manchester and Belfast Airports to the USA, the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Virgin Atlantic has a reputation for "Rock Star Service", particularly in its Premium Economy and flagship Upper Class cabins. For many years it’s been seen as the cooler, anti-establishment alternative to larger, UK based rival, British Airways. This rebellious, rock and roll image has its roots in the origins of the company, though it could have turned out very differently.
Virgin Atlantic was originally established as British Atlantic Airways by an American lawyer and the former chief pilot of Laker Airways. The early plan was to operate scheduled flights between London and the Falkland Islands. They soon realised it wouldn’t be commercially viable so they switched to the idea of a low-fare airline connecting London and New York. But they were beaten to market by a short-lived airline called People Express. Around this time they met the owner of the Virgin record label, Richard Branson, to discuss additional funding. Before long the airline had become Virgin Atlantic Airways, Branson had taken charge. Branson combined his flair for publicity with his music industry connections to promote his new airline and the rest is history. Even in today’s cost-conscious airline industry a Virgin flight booking offers access to a more stylish way to fly. Better still, thanks to the generous Virgin rewards program, anyone can fly like a VIP and save money with a Virgin Atlantic Reward Flight.
About Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
The airline’s loyalty programme is called The Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. It’s free to join, but you won’t get many benefits from your membership until you earn Virgin Points or Tier Points.
Virgin Atlantic rewards members with Virgin Points when they fly with the airline, its partners or when they book hotels, rent cars or buy from an extensive collection of retail partners. Virgin Points is the new name for Flying Club Miles and in the UK they can also be earned through the Virgin Red and Tesco Clubcard shopping reward schemes.
Tier Points determine your status within Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, there are three tiers: Red, Silver and Gold. Each level up offers a wider range of benefits such as priority check-in, extra baggage allowance and lounge access. You can only earn Tier Points by taking Virgin Atlantic flights or travelling with their partner airlines such as Delta, KLM and Air France. If you earn enough Tier Points, within a membership year, you’re promoted to a higher level within the club.
Red members can save money on flights when they book Virgin Atlantic reward flights. They can also reduce the cost of their Virgin flight booking through Points Plus Money offers and get deals with a wide range of airline partners. Flying Club Silver offers 30% more Virgin Points on every flight taken, premium check and free seat assignment in Economy. Gold is the tier where things get more interesting. Gold members get a massive 60% more Virgin Points for every flight, can use Upper Class check-in desks (regardless of which cabin they are flying in) and get priority seat assignment, extra baggage allowance and access to Virgin’s Clubhouse and Revivals lounges. Flying Club members can also book Virgin Atlantic reward flights with partner airlines or take advantage of the Virgin Atlantic companion ticket that lets you add a friend to your booking by redeeming your points.
If you want to maximise your Virgin air miles, the Virgin Atlantic Reward credit card lets you earn Virgin Points on all your everyday spending. You even get double points when you make a Virgin flight booking. Depending on how often you use your card, you could qualify for a companion voucher. This 2 for 1 voucher, lets you book two reward tickets, for the same number of points, as one would normally cost.

Well worth the handful of quid a month to get the flights you really want with their Alert service. Have used it multiple times with success!

We have now booked three holidays using the world search as we know the dates we can fly around school term dates and then it's just a matter of deciding where in the world we fancy going! Brilliant!

Simple, easy to use and accurate. Has saved me many hours of searching the BA website. It is a sanity-saving service which helps you find the BA reward seats you want. I really present how BA makes it hard to find reward availability on their website so this site is a gem.

Reward Flight Finder Gold membership is worth the minimal cost of £5. Saves so much time as you just set up your preferences and they let you know when the seats open up. Easy.
